Under twenty-five male language is heavily seasoned with “Yooo....duuuude...’sup?” usually with some Cali surfer accent.

True, but at least you can usually tell what gender the speaker is. Hanson is complaining because people of indeterminate sex call him up on the phone for interviews. That probably has something to do with the sort of people who are involved in writing and publishing rather than the general population of young men, if you know what I mean.

Every sentence is peppered with "like" and ends in an upward inflection.
